Responsibilities: You will closely collaborate with Schlumberger design engineers in US, Europe, and Asia. You will be performing FEA studies in technically challenging areas such as non-linear solid mechanics, metal plasticity, viscoelastic materials, shock, vibration, heat transfer, composites, and fluid/structure interactions. You will also need to present FEA results to various internal or external clients.

(Master's thesis attached)An extension to an implicit time integration scheme of Silva and Bezerra has been proposed . It is proposed to combine the Newmark scheme with the three point backward Euler scheme to have more user controlled numerical properties like high frequency dissipation. Also, the stability, accuracy, and dissipation of the proposed scheme have been studied. This is achieved by studying the spectral radius, period elongation, and amplitude decay.

The departments of Mechanical Science and Engineering and Civil and Environmental Engineeing at University of Illinois Urbana Champaign will be cohosting the first Midwest Mechanics of Materials and Structures workshop at UIUC this Summer (Aug. 26th, 2015).

Our Group of High Performance Materials in Enviormental & Civil Engineering Department at Michigan State University has an openings for PhD positions to work on Multiscale Modeling of Soft Materials starting Spring 2016.

In this paper, we investigate the formation of band-gaps and localisation phenomena in an elastic strip nearly disintegrated by an array of transverse cracks. We analyse the eigenfrequencies of finite, strongly damaged, elongated solids with reference to the propagation bands of an infinite strip with a periodic damage. Subsequently, we determine analytically the band-gaps of the infinite strip by using a lower-dimensional model, represented by a periodically-damaged beam in which the small ligaments between cracks are modelled as ‘elastic junctions’.

for doing my phd thesis I need two books titled" mechanic of crystals and textured polycrystals" from W.F. Hosford and " dislocation and plastic flow in crystals" from AH. Cottrell. if anyone has these books please send for me or direct me to related links.

A postdoctoral position is available immediately in the computational mechanics group of Professor Albert To at University of Pittsburgh. The position is in the modeling of additive manufactured (3D printed) metals and lattice structures and is for one year with possible extension to two years upon satisfactory performance. The applicant is required to have a doctoral degree in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related field at the time of appointment. The applicant must also have strong computer skills and be experienced in materials modeling using A

The School of Mechanical Engineering at Universidad Industrial de Santander invites applications for two tenure track faculty appointments at any level. Applications will be received until 03/08/2015. As part of recent strategic planning, the school has identified special hiring needs and opportunities in controls, robotics, dynamics and manufacturing engineering.

The 52nd Annual Technical Meeting of the Society of Engineering Science will be hosted by Texas A&M University during October 26-28, 2015. As part of this meeting, we are organizing a mini-symposium to address recent experimental, computational, theoretical, and manufacturing advances on the mechanics and physics of soft materials. Topics of particular interest include:

Please, consider to attend the symposium entitled "Behavior and Mechanics of Active Materials & Structures" organized for the occasion of the 52nd Annual Technical Meeting of the Society of Engineering Science (SES). The SES meeting will be held at Texas A&M University, October 26 - 28, 2015 (http://ses-2015.org/).
